[Music] RIP Charlie Watts

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Another legend passes away, RIP Charlie

 

[Skuller]

I remember we used to see him at Lewes station in the sixties when we were on our way home to Seaford from school. We never had the nerve to approach him. I can’t remember where it was he lived but it was nearby.

i was totally convinced that the Rolling Stones are immortals

The fact that Charlie Watts was so normal is extraordinary …… I mean that world where you can have practically anything you want.

 

[Boroseagull]

Wonderful musician, and part of the best rock band ever. RIP Charlie

Sad news but a great legacy to look back on and enjoy.

End of a wonderful life. Beatles or Stones - I am/was both. Best drummer ever - Moon was a bit erratic and Jones only good. Did well to keep sane in a mad industry. RIP CW, your music will be your legacy.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Another legend - RIP

 

[Lenny Rider]

For all his straight laced exterior talk to anyone who knows what they’re talking about and he’s one of the greatest rock n roll drummers of all time.

A sad, sad day for music. ��

 

[Weststander]

Always sad when we lose one of these genuine legends, in the early/mid 60’s these geniuses turned the world upside down.

RIP Charlie Watts. Your music will be iconic forever.

Some of his ill informed critics might call him bland and boring but talk to anyone who knows what they’re talking about and he’s one of the greatest rock n roll drummers of all time.

A sad, sad day for music.

Quite, you can't have a band full of show offs, someones got to hold it together . . . . As a bass player you couldn't want for a better band mate.

 

[Jam The Man]

Sad day indeed.
My dad used to have a drink with him at The Sloop in Scaynes Hill in the late 80s/ early 90s and remarked what a gentle chap he was.

Legend, R.I.P

Just read his wife is 34, and leaves behind a 5 year old youngest son.

Wow just wow, respect

I'm not sure that's right. I'm pretty sure he only married once and was still married to her 50+ years later with one daughter

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Oh no. 80 or not, I didn't expect that even after he pulled out of the latest tour. Just my favourite drummer with a unique style of blues/rock/jazz influences. Bloody gutted. I once cashed a debit on his bank account for him in Lewes. He just signed it with a cross and said 'You know who I am'. Damned right I did. RIP Charlie.

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Have opened up a bottle of red and will listen to 'Let it Bleed' at near full volume later. I appreciate the Stones and this album in particular is a special one.
RIP

Every day of every week that band in the sky gets a bit more legendary doesn't it?

A very sad day. I was brought up on, and became a big fan of, the Stones due to my late father’s love of them. Sympathy for the Devil is my favourite ever song. I last saw them at Glastonbury 6 or 7 years ago and despite their age they could still deliver an energetic rock and roll set…..all underpinned by that man at the back.

A giant and a gentleman. Thank you Charlie. RIP.
